“Spartak” – well done, and “Sochi” would be well done if they lost to CSKA” – Denis Popov

Spartak is not at the level of Fakel at the moment, Voronezh residents can only hope for Khimki, former CSKA Moscow striker and ex-head coach of Ufa Denis Popov told Euro-Futbol.Ru.

Spartak defeated Fakel (3:2), Sochi lost to Orenburg (0:4) in the 19th round of the WORLD RPL.

– Score Sobolev, 3:0 – and that’s it. And so – nerves, swings. “Spartak” in any case, well done, that they did not break, they still crushed the “Torch”, they won. But they could also draw. Fakel should have beaten Khimki at home in the last round. And Spartak is not at the level of Torch at the moment, especially in Moscow. Now the Voronezh team can only hope for Khimki. Because Lokomotiv has already won two matches. If Khimki even draws with Zenit, which is unlikely, they will catch up with Fakel, there is only one point difference between them.

“Sochi” are not great. Now, if they lost to CSKA and won against Orenburg, then they would be great (laughs). In the next round, Sochi will have an interesting game with Fakel. And Voronezh has nowhere to retreat, and Berdyev’s plans do not include losing the second match in a row, with the ambitions and tasks of Sochi to be in the top five. So it will be an interesting game,” the expert said.
